"Sprangling Brook" is a landscape painting by Hendrik-Dirk Kruseman van Elten (1829–1904), a Dutch-American artist known for his pastoral and picturesque depictions of the American countryside. Born Hendrik Dirk Kruseman van Elten in Alkmaar, Netherlands, he moved to the United States in 1865, where he became well-regarded for his ability to capture the serene and bucolic qualities of the American Northeast.

The painting "Sprangling Brook" is characteristic of Kruseman van Elten's mature style, showcasing his adeptness at rendering the interplay of light and shadow, as well as his meticulous attention to the naturalistic details of the landscape. The work typically features a tranquil brook meandering through a lush forest or rural setting, with the water's surface reflecting the surrounding foliage and sky. The composition often leads the viewer's eye into the depth of the scene, creating a sense of peacefulness and immersion in nature.

As a member of the Hudson River School, Kruseman van Elten's work is often associated with the second generation of artists from this movement, who emphasized a more intimate and detailed observation of nature compared to the grand, sweeping vistas of the school's earlier members. "Sprangling Brook" exemplifies this focus on the quiet and contemplative aspects of the landscape, inviting contemplation of the beauty found in the everyday environment.

Kruseman van Elten's contributions to American landscape painting were recognized during his lifetime, and he was elected an Associate of the National Academy of Design in 1869, later becoming a full Academician in 1883. "Sprangling Brook" remains a testament to his artistic legacy and his dedication to capturing the essence of the American landscape during a period of significant change and development in the United States.
